Maintaining your semi-trucks and cars can be challenging. At Prior's Auto Care we service cars, semi-trucks, and trucks. Call us at 509-922-0199 or visit our auto shop in Spokane Valley, WA 99206. Count on Prior's Auto Care for all your maintenance needs.

Oil ChangesDid you know that regularly changing the oil in your vehicle is one of the simplest, most effective and inexpensive ways to help protect its engine life? Oil lessens wear, reduces friction, and forms a seal between the pistons, rings, and cylinder walls. The oil also helps cool engine parts and even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts. For all your oil change needs, call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care today. We have years of experience helping drivers with oil changes and other auto maintenance needs.

Motor Oil BasicsDo you know the oil basics? Did you know that even some auto mechanics do not know the oil basics? In order for your car's engine to do its job properly, it is vital to have clean, fresh oil. The oil used in your car has two primary ingredients: base oil and additives. The base oil allows the motor oil to perform its vital function - lubricating the engine's moving parts to protect them against wear and tear caused by friction. The additives provide additional engine protection by helping to prevent the oil from deteriorating under the engine's extreme temperature conditions. At Prior's Auto Care, we are motor oil experts - we will help you with motor oil basics. Call us at 509-922-0199 or visit our auto repair shop in Spokane Valley, WA 99206 today.

BeltsA fan belt, also known as a drive belt, is a belt connecting your car's engine to the front mounted accessories. The fan belt rotates the water pump and engine fan, which maintains a cool environment for the engine and its components. Sooner or later, your vehicle's fan belts will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on Prior's Auto Care for all your vehicle's repair needs.

You not only have to get the belts replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the belts replaced by auto cooling and heating experts - and get your car driving right - visit Prior's Auto Care today. The mechanics at Prior's Auto Care will thoroughly inspect your car's belts; replace all worn belts; and adjust the installed belts.

HosesHoses transfer coolant and antifreeze throughout the engine's cooling system (including the radiator). Sooner or later, your vehicle's hoses will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on Prior's Auto Care for all your vehicle's repair needs.

You not only have to get the hoses replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the hoses replaced by auto cooling and heating experts - and get your car driving right - visit Prior's Auto Care today. The mechanics at Prior's Auto Care will thoroughly inspect your car's hoses; replace all worn hoses; and adjust the installed hoses.

Headlight and Bulb ReplacementTo maintain maximum visibility (and keep you safe), you should always make sure that your vehicle's headlight bulbs are in good working condition. Although replacing faulty headlight bulbs is a simple and quick process (takes very little time), you need to rely on an experienced auto mechanic to handle your headlight and bulb replacement. This way, you will have quality bulbs installed by experts. Remember, it is a critical part of your car's maintenance and your safety. For all your headlight and bulb replacement needs, call or visit Prior's Auto Care today.

Wiper Blade ReplacementVisibility is very important to safe driving. Having properly functioning wipers can help keep you safer on the road. If your car's wipers are not wiping well or are leaving lines, have them replaced immediately. To have wiper blades fitted on your vehicle, call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care today. We will fit your car with high quality and effective wiper blades.

PCV Valve ChangeThe positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is a very important part of some cars' emissions control systems. This valve, which is usually plugged into a rubber grommet in the valve cover, is a one-way passage for gases to escape from the engine's crankcase. With time, the PCV valve becomes clogged with sludge from the contaminants in the exhaust gases. If your car has a PCV valve, make sure it is regularly cleaned and (if necessary) replaced. To have your car's PCV valve changed by experts, call or visit Prior's Auto Care in Spokane Valley, WA 99206 today.

Fuel Injection CleaningA fuel injector is an electronically controlled valve that supplies the engine with pressurized fuel. When driving, the oxygen sensors tell the engine if it is getting too much air, which signals the fuel injectors to give the engine spurts of pressurized fuel. Since fuel injectors are small pieces of equipment (and the part that squirts the fuel is even smaller), any little piece of dirt can clog it. A clogged fuel injector will hurt your vehicle's performance. To avoid misfires, poor emission rating, poor performance, and rough idle have the car's fuel injectors cleaned regularly. For professional fuel injection cleaning services, call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care today.

Transmission ServiceJust like replacing your engine oil, transmission service is part of your routine vehicle maintenance. The service involves removing and examining the pan, cleaning or replacing the screen or filter, cleaning the pan, reinstalling the pan (with a new pan gasket), replacing the old oil with new, and adding an additive package. Adding new fluid restores the holding power between the clutches. This service helps improve lubrication and helps maximize the life of the transmission. For all your transmission repair needs, visit or call Prior's Auto Care in Spokane Valley, WA 99206 today. We offer transmission services, reseal services, and clutch services.

Transmission FlushAlthough most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care today - we are transmission experts.

Transmission Flush & FilterTransmission flush and filter change is a comprehensive transmission maintenance service that involves the replacement of old, degraded transmission fluid and filter with new. The service is meant to prolong the life of your transmission. At Prior's Auto Care, we offer the most comprehensive transmission flush and filter service. We will exchange your old transmission oil, remove dirt, replace the filter, clean the screen, and replace used pans. Give us a call at 509-922-0199 or visit our auto shop in Spokane Valley, WA 99206.

Radiator FlushA radiator is the part of your vehicle that keeps the engine cool and protects it from excessive heating. To be cool, the radiator needs to remain clean - always. With time, sludge, rust and other solid deposits build up inside your car's radiator. These make the cooling system become clogged and less effective. This in effect hurts your vehicle's performance. A regular radiator flush is enough to keep the system in shape. For this reason, make radiator flushing a part of your routine car maintenance schedule. For all your radiator flush needs, call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care today.

Coolant System FlushA car's air conditioning system contains a coolant which transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and finally loses it through the radiator fins. With time, the a/c coolant becomes old and dirty. The old coolant will negatively impact the system's performance. To make sure the system is working effectively, consider having a regular coolant system flush. A coolant flush is basic maintenance for your car's cooling system. Call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care in Spokane Valley, WA 99206 for all your coolant system flush and fill needs. Ensure maximum performance from your vehicle's heating and cooling systems today.

Brake System FlushBrake fluid is hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture). The absorbed moisture lowers the fluid's boiling point. It also corrodes the lines and cylinders. With the lowered boiling point, the brake fluid could boil during braking which makes you lose braking ability. Although this is an extreme scenario, it does happen in heavy braking. To reduce the effects of the absorbed moisture, auto manufacturers recommend that you have a brake flush done periodically. A brake system flush involves the replacement of used and contaminated fluid with fresh fluid. With Prior's Auto Care's quick lube services, you will have a brake system flush performed by brake experts. Call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care today.

Differential FlushThe differential is a car part that compensates for the difference in travel distance between the inner wheels and outer wheels when the vehicle is turning. Due to the differential's position in most non-four-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles (located at the rear and under the car), it does not get any of the star treatment the engine gets. The one thing that every car owner needs to know is that failure of the differential will mean failure of the car. To save the differential from failure, you need to have differential fluid changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Changing the oil on the differential is as important as changing the car's engine oil. Although checking and changing differential oil is pretty easy, you need to visit an auto shop to get a comprehensive differential flush. For differential flush services, visit or call Prior's Auto Care in Spokane Valley, WA 99206 today.

Power Steering FlushPower steering fluid is the hydraulic fluid that transmits the power in a steering wheel. Servicing the power steering involves flushing out the old power steering fluid and adding fresh fluid. A power steering flush will definitely help prolong the life of the power steering components. Failure to have periodic power steering flushes results in important parts like the power steering pump, the seals, power steering rack, and the O-rings wearing out. To have a comprehensive power steering flush, call 509-922-0199 or visit Prior's Auto Care today.

Have Questions?

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

Vehicle Tips

The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

Vehicle Tips

Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

Vehicle Tips

Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

Vehicle Tips

Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

Vehicle Tips

A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

Vehicle Tips

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

Vehicle Tips

Vehicle Tips

Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

Vehicle Tips

Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

Vehicle Tips

Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

Vehicle Tips

Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

What our clients say about us?

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

As a female it's scary to take your car to any auto repair shop. I always felt like auto repair shops view me as a money symbol. But not here. I have been going to Prior's since I moved to Spokane and purchased my vehicle in 2013. They have never tried to sell me on unnecessary repairs and are always friendly. I will never take my car anywhere else!

-Kacie Bramell

Absolutely love them! Honest rates, quick service, and they almost always have a great groupon for oil changes! Highly recommend them!

-Sarah Boyd

Professional, courteous and reasonably priced. I recently took my older vehicle in for a routine oil change. I also requested some diagnostic work. All the services were extremely reasonably priced. I fully intend on returning here and recommending Prior's to my friends and colleagues.

-Clayton McFarland

Staff was friendly, and service was quick. I had no trouble using my groupon at all!

-Michelle McPherson

Have used Prior's for years and appreciate their timeliness, professionalism and reasonable pricing. I trust their judgment and look forward to working with Corey and Wayne in the future.

-Julie Lehman

I love this place!

-Kari Cooper

I've brought company vehicles in on two occasions from two different outfits. Both times the staff have been nothing but professional and have taken care of any mechanical issues I needed at the time. No complaints here!

-Thomas Pedigo

These guys came highly recommended by some co-workers. It is hard to find a good mechanic like the guys at Prior's. We took our car in, and told them to fix whatever so that we could sell it. Well it turned out to be a Mass Air Flow Sensor. All this time other shops were telling us it was a major repair. They figured it out in under 30 minutes. Thanks again for the friendly service.

-Mark Strauss

What a treat! We stopped in here on our way back from a ski trip. Our Suburban had all kinds of lights and whistles come on while driving thru the Spokane Area. We looked on our phones and found this place on Yelp. We pulled up, and a big tall gentleman asked us if he can give us a hand. We told him what was going on, and that it was a rental and we were not going to spend any money. He said to give him a couple of minutes and he'll let us know what is going on "no charge". About 10 minutes later he emerged and said we were ready to go. You just don't run in to people like this everyday. Wish you guys were in my town! Thanks again!

-Greg Joseph

This place has nice people and are very accommodating. This is where I go everytime I need anything. They let me buy my own parts and they are very fair.

-Anonymous

Awesome and trustworthy. My whole family brings their cars here. There is a convenience store with a deli right next door, so if I go at lunch time I can get a sandwich & a soda while I wait. Last time I was in there, a new release movie was playing in the lobby and they had chocolate on the counter. Love this place!
